System Design

After conducting a full heat loss survey, we designed a system around the home’s needs with a low flow temperature of 45°C. This setup is ideal for maximising efficiency while ensuring year-round comfort, even through the cold snaps we saw earlier in the year.

The system includes:

• A Vaillant aroTHERM plus 7kW heat pump
• Hot water cylinder
• Weather compensation controls

The Results

We’re pleased to report that the system has been operating at 420% efficiency over the past year, meaning that for every unit of electricity used, it’s producing more than four units of heat. That’s a massive improvement on the previous boiler, and it’s already showing up in the customer’s lower energy bills.

Bonus: Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The customer also claimed the £7,500 BUS grant, which we handled on their behalf. That’s a big win, making the upgrade much more affordable. Wondering if your home is suitable for a heat pump? Check here!

This time, we were working on a three-bedroom detached house, upgrading the heating system to one that will save money, reduce emissions, and keep the family warm for years to come.

The Property

The house is a three-bed detached home located in a peaceful part of North Wales. Like many homes across the UK, it was initially heated by a traditional gas boiler. While the boiler had done its job over the years, the homeowner was looking for something cleaner, cheaper to run, and future-proof.

Following a detailed heat loss survey, we identified that the property was a great candidate for a 5kW air source heat pump, running at a design flow temperature of just 40°C, ideal for maximising efficiency while maintaining comfort throughout the home.

The Installation

We installed the Vaillant aroTHERM plus 5kW air-to-water heat pump, one of the most advanced systems on the market. Thanks to its use of a natural refrigerant, it offers excellent efficiency and a lower environmental impact than many other systems.

Before installation, our team carried out all the necessary prep work, including sizing the radiators and checking that the existing pipework and rads were suitable for lower flow temperatures. This is an important step in any heat pump installation, as oversized or undersized radiators can significantly impact system performance.

Because the system was designed to run at just 40°C, we know it’ll achieve great efficiency while delivering a warm, comfortable home all year round.

The Results

With the installation complete, the homeowner now benefits from a modern, future-ready heating system that is:

• Cheaper to run than their old gas boiler
• Much more energy efficient
• Cleaner and quieter
• Backed by a 7-year parts and labour warranty for peace of mind

Thanks to the low flow temperature design and the high performance of the aroTHERM plus, we’re expecting this system to achieve up to 390% efficiency, meaning for every unit of electricity used, nearly four units of heat are delivered.

That’s a win, win for the environment and the homeowner’s energy bills.

BUS Grant – £7,500 Towards the Cost

The cherry on top? This system qualified for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which knocks £7,500 off the cost of a heat pump installation.

As always, we handled the complete BUS grant application on behalf of the customer, no stress, no paperwork headaches. Just a smooth process from start to finish.
